Description
Coming from windows-rs here:
GetSecurityDescriptorLength states that a security descriptor is always at least SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_MIN_LENGTH long, yet I can't find this constant exposed in this repo (and of course not in windows-rs)

Start by tracing how the metadata for GetSecurityDescriptorLength is represented and exposed, then compare it with the public documentation reference to SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_MIN_LENGTH. Done means the missing constant is correctly represented in this repository's generated Win32 metadata and available to consumers such as windows-rs.
